Remove tar or other oil stains, industrial
dirt, insect stains, and resin from the lower part
of the vehicle promptly to prevent damage to the
paint or leaving stains.
Removing Stains
Regular waxing can protect the vehicle's
paint surface and help maintain its appearance.
Mechanical friction or intense polishing
on the primer/clear coat layers can cause
imperfections or leave swirl marks on the paint.
After waxing, polish to remove residues
from the surface and prevent weathering.
Waxing the Vehicle
CAUTION
● Thoroughly wash the vehicle before
waxing.
● Use car wax according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
● Do not use waxes containing abrasives,
mixtures, or detergents, as they may
damage the body paint.
Vehicle Cleaning

!
Do not use gasoline, turpentine, nail polish
remover, or other volatile liquids to maintain
the vehicle.These substances are toxic and
flammable and can easily cause fire and
explosion!
When cleaning dirt off the windshield glass
with the wiper, spray windshield washer uid on
the glass surface before wiping. Otherwise, it can
damage the wiper blades and the glass surface.
Even in light rain, spray before wiping.
Use windshield washer fluid sold at
authorized dealerships.
Cleaning Exterior Glass
In areas where deicing salt is used in
winter, regularly clean the underside of the car
to prevent dirt or adhered salt from corroding the
underbody and suspension system components.
In winter or spring, check the vehicle's
sealing condition and reseal if necessary.
Maintenance of the Vehicle's Underbody
Regularly clean aluminum alloy wheels,
especially in areas where deicing salt is used on
roads in winter. Salt on the wheels can corrode
the aluminum alloy and cause discoloration.
Cleaning Aluminum Alloy Wheels
CAUTION
To avoid staining or fading the wheels, follow
these guidelines:
● Do not use cleaners containing strong
acids or alkalis to clean the wheels.
● Do not use wheel cleaners when the
wheels are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as the ambient
temperature.
● Rinse the wheels within 15 minutes after
using the cleaner to wash off the cleaner
thoroughly.
